The Love Series: Eros (Completed on Haloreads) There are seven kinds of love and one of them is Eros. Passion, attraction, and love with heated lust was what she had ever dreamed of. Everyone only knew her as Grace Santos, a simple journalist of an NGO Broadcasting Media Company. A normal, overlooked woman. Nothing special, which is a good thing because she's hiding. It's what she wanted, to finally taste freedom for the first time in her life. She wanted to be selfish this time and find love but unexpectedly found herself swooning over his boss. The grumpy, very handsome, mouth-watering, and panty-dropping-literally-Vincent Dela Vega. Who, as per rumors, turns out to be a closeted gay. Grace, wanting to disprove the rumors, got drunk and blatantly asked her boss if the rumors were right, only to end up being kissed by the said grumpy boss. One kiss is all it takes and that kiss turns into something wild, sexy, and daring affair. Will it turn into something beautiful and unexpected such as love or will it remain only a call of lust and physical attraction?

Alecsandra Rei Dela Cruz wanted to prove herself to her father that she can also be a reliable person and she's as good as her brother when it comes to providing services and securities to the rich. She wanted him to be proud of her, too. She got the opportunity to do it when she finally got her assignment, and that is to guard the President's son, Nathaniel Araneta. The job was easy, she's trained to do it. What's hard was to get along with the snobbish man she's guarding and hearing his side commentaries while she's doing her job. She thought she could endure it all and just let him be an ass like he's used to, but after he got drunk and something happened to them, and he began taking care of her, it felt like she's up for a more challenging assignment-the one that is the ultimate rule of their organization. That is not to fall in love with the client. Will she be able to stop herself from falling and uphold their organization's principles or fall in love with the one who made her feel most alive?

He was born a weapon, sharpened by blood, trained to kill without hesitation. By day, he hides in the quiet halls of a university; by night, he is the mafia's youngest assassin, feared as a shadow that never misses its mark. She was raised in an orphanage, a girl of fragile health and gentle soul. Innocent, modest, and unshakable in her belief that even the darkest heart carries a spark of goodness. Their worlds should never have touched. Yet when fate binds the devil to his lamb, tenderness collides with violence, and devotion becomes a dangerous sin. But in the underworld, innocence is never left untainted. Enemies are quick to notice where his gaze lingers, and in her weakness, they see his only vulnerability. To love her is to defy his bloodline. To protect her is to betray everything he was trained to be. When the choice comes; to take her life, or give up his own? An assassin will finally learn what it means to have a heart. *********************************** Started: September 02, 2025 Ended: November 28, 2025

He was her first everything. She was his only softness in a world built on blood. They were childhood sweethearts-first friend, first kiss, first love-two hearts learning to beat in sync before the world taught them what their last names truly meant. In the world of mafia bloodlines, love means nothing when your name is wrong. Born into rival families, they were torn apart by a war that demanded loyalty over desire. Because in the mafia, love is a liability. Years passed. Families turned colder. Promises burned. Now, she wears another man's ring-a strategic engagement, a future carved in power. She buried every trace of him-of them-beneath silence and duty. Until the day he returns. And steals her. No explanation. No apology. Just chains of memory, venomous love, and a touch that still knows every inch of her soul. He is no longer the boy she loved. He is sharper now. Untamed. Unforgiving. Yet something lingers behind the rage in his eyes-something she doesn't understand. As they run from the enemies hunting them both, she's forced to confront the cruelest truth of all: The past never stayed buried. And the boy she once loved... may be the man who destroys her. *********************************** Started: August 09, 2025 Ended: September 26, 2025

[The Wattys 2025 Shortlist] ********** She spent twenty-four years preserving herself for one man-only for him to choose her best friend instead. Tomorrow, they would vow eternity to each other, while she remained nothing but a spectator to a love she had longed for. Desperate, she devised a plan, one final chance to make him hers. A single drop of aphrodisiac, a carefully orchestrated encounter-she would take what was meant to be hers. But fate had other plans. In the darkness of her deceit, she fell into the arms of the wrong man. A ruthless, merciless, and identical in every way except for the shadows that clung to him like a second skin. Her trickery had backfired, and now, she was at the mercy of a man whose hunger knew no bounds. He devoured her, claimed her, and became intoxicated by her taste, scent, and the desperate, helpless moans she never intended for him. She had set a trap, but it was she who had been ensnared. In her desperation, she had tasted her own poison. And he had found a new obsession. *********************************** Started: March 22, 2025 Ended: April 21, 2025 Revised: August 2, 2025

Mahirap ang buhay, lalo na kapag wala kang pera, pero para kay Chantina, mas mahirap pa rin ang maging katulong ni Poseidon Montellier. Masungit, palaging mainit ang ulo, perfectionist, at hindi puwedeng ma-late sa anumang utos nito. Pero sa ngalan ng pera at sa pangarap na matagal na niyang gustong maabot, tiniis niya ang lahat. Isang araw, inalok siya nito ng tatlong milyon kapalit ng isang bagay na hindi niya inasahan - ang magpanggap bilang fiancée ng amo. Halos lumuwa ang mata niya sa laki ng halaga at muntik na siyang himatayin sa kondisyon, pero sa huli, pumayag siya. Akala niya, madali lang ang magpanggap. Pero bilang fiancée ng isang bilyonaryo, kinailangan din niyang masanay sa mga bagong bagay. "Lean on my shoulder," "Hold my hand," "Hug me," "Kiss me" - mga utos na sa simula'y nakakailang, pero sa kalauna'y nakasanayan na rin niya. Kung kailan sanay na siyang kasama ito, saka naman nagbalik ang ina ng mga anak ng lalaki. Mabilis pa sa alas-kuwatro, tinapos nito ang kanilang kasunduan at pinaalis siya sa mansiyon. Parang binuhusan siya ng malamig na tubig, at doon niya napagtanto na hindi lahat ng papel na ginagampanan ay nagiging totoo. Noon lang niya na-realize na mas mahirap ang magpanggap na masaya kaysa magpanggap na fiancée ng amo, at kahit tatlong milyon pa ang kapalit, hindi nito kayang punan ang lungkot at pangungulila niya sa taong natutunan na niyang mahalin.
